This is my long awaited week off work and I am sitting here in my PJs, surrounded by a pile of tissues with a big cup of chicken soup. <sniffs> My joints have twigged that something is amiss, so they are throwing a massive tantrum too. Not to be left out, after a very good few weeks with my stomach condition, I am now a one woman vomiting machine. :? However, as you may well know, I'm not one to be defeated. I am hanging in there because I am going on holiday in April to stay with family for some TLC, so hopefully, the excitement about that will keep my spirits up.

    Oh no! I hope you start to feel better soon - how dare it happen on your week off!!

    Chicken soup was my mother's cure-all when we were poorly. A nice soft-boiled egg was always her Plan B.

    No, you're absolutely right – 'snot. I / we always found, when teaching, that we somehow managed to stay just healthy enough until the holidays then wham!

    You deserve better, Sophie, but arthritis cares not one jot and the meds just usher in the nasties like good hosts. You also have the stomach problems – exactly what is not needed in such circumstances.

    Be gentle with yourself and keep focusing on that holiday.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    No it's not! And not what you deserve either. Just keep looking after yourself and I hope you start to feel better soon

    Oh, miserable. :( I reckon the arthritis knows when we're taking things easy so it comes out to play, a little like this. g035.gif I hope you feel better soon. DD

    How's stuff today? Which triumphed, the chicken soup or the vomiting? The former, I hope.

    Thank you for your kind words. I am feeling a bit more human and having a nice day out in London tomorrow. I'm well rested if nothing else!

    Glad to hear you are on the mend but make sure you don't overdo things tomorrow.
